Hi ALL! I got this UP Caboose, 1654. I think it's early Tyco, IS it?
Many thanks, TycoTed

Hey I have one that looks like that same shape, but the copulers are Rivoarossi style, with the circular spring, mine has underframe detail, nut no name.
It's a long way to the top if you want to Rock N' Roll.

| Giveaway is the coupler mounting, which is similar to Tyco metal trucks using a screw to hold a cover and the coupler itself pivoting on a pin rather than the screw itself. (some cars use a rivet rather than a screw).
